Employment metrics are all bullshit anyway. Who actually wants to be used (aka employed)? Who actually wants to waste their life serving capital?

We need to stop acting like "full employment" is a good thing and instead demand a 4-day week (at most), maternity/paternity leave, extensive vacations, livable wages, public health/welfare, etc.
